Thanks Jake for being part of that job it was definitely a once in a lifetime thing for me to climb on the same job as the Tom Brady of tree climbing 🤟

You know you're a true tree man when you tune a carb whilst climbing the tree. Hats off to you Jacob

There is nothing more badass and satisfying then watching this line of work

Dual wielding top handles at 70' up a tree... He's in akimbo mode, while climbing with an akimbo.

Jake I am retired from Marine Construction and live in Maine. I found your channel a couple of months ago and had to tell you that I really enjoy the videos. When I started following channels on You Tube years ago the first one was doing tree work. I have always been fascinated by you guys rigging limbs to get huge trees down in extremely tight places. I am enjoying you channel because you travel around so we can see challenges with different type trees in areas we usually don’t see and you work with some awesome people using different methods,gear and equipment. Just had to let you know I appreciate your channel and glad I subscribed. Keep up the good work! 👍👍👍

I like how Micheal asked if he could take pictures. Respect

Jake I would argue your relevance as an arborist to anyone as the best….and being humble and not arrogant puts you in a different class my friend…your an inspiration brother

Jake you are an amazing young man. I like how you handle yourself in the different kinds of trees you climb. Your work ethic is spot on. Your teaching methods are appropriated and your jokes makes others smile. You are a unique man and I enjoy watching you work. Keep it up, you will go far and wide!

That was the biggest mistake that company made was stopping making 200T

One saw in each hand sounds like a wiki how technique for arborists.

Thank you for clean language your videos are very fun to watch and you guys make a great team!

I did a Douglas Fir tree like that in the late 80's in a town called Carver, Oregon. It too was about 170 feet tall, or more. I put a pull line about 15 feet from the top and then dropped down around 15 feet to top it. After I did the cut and the top toppled off there, it seemed like it took forever to hit the ground. I needed the pull line because the tree was about 10 feet from a home, so I wanted to do my best to not let it go the wrong way. I took another 50 feet out of it the same way. After that I quit climbing because it was too exciting. All these years later I just can't think about it. I wasn't strong enough to get even that tiny mac 10 up the tree, so I got up there and used a rope to pull it up. I was foolish to do that job but I had a hard time with NO.

Dude you are really good at what you do. It definitely takes skill and climbing is not for the faint of heart. I did tree service for about a year and learned a lot in that year, it was some of the most physically demanding work I have ever done. I am a carpenter by trade and I’ve been a carpenter for over 20 years but always enjoy being able to take on some smaller tree work on the side. I have a lot if respect for what you guys do. Your channel is awesome, you put out great content and I love learning new shit from watching your videos. Keep on keeping on brother

Saw arrived yesterday kzfaq.infoUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and today I cut about 3/4 cord of wood with it. Make sure you get an extension chord that is at least 12 gauge wire, minimum. This is my first electric in about 10 years, and things sure have improved. The self-sharpener works great, and it just kept cutting through some pretty decent logs. Wear your eye protection, and ear protection. Excellent saw.

forget all the skill and precision on the felling and trimming,,,,,im just amazed at the strength, stamina, knowledge, and planning in climbing waaaay up there all the while carrying two saws and lots of extra equipment!! Guys you had me on the edge of my seat here on the couch in alabama the whole time!! i get nervous any time a limb or trunk falls, hoping its not somehow entangled in your equipment and pulls you down also!! Im glad i had a mathematics job doing rocket research for 36 yrs with both my feet on the ground. Im only confident with a small saw, my feet flat on the ground, and a tree that doesnt need limbing before felling!! My complete respects to you and also the ground crew who do an excellent job of supporting you at every moment!! Stay safe!!

Great Job. I love how you stay humble and thankful all the time.

Love it. Just fell 20 ft out of a tree yesterday. Was double tied in but the cypress couldnt support me. I broke my foot. Cannot wait to get back into the saddle again. In the meantime your videos will sustain me on my 4 weel recovery 😊

“The more arborist videos I watch, the more I realise how good August Hunicke is” posted on your video, you gotta admit that is funny, 😂 you do ok too jake 🙂👍

Trade them saws out like golf clubs. Total respect to all you tree men.

Tree Surgeon for 16 years here, instead of cutting straight through stubs, do a step cut free fall, the snap pop lets the stub fall of more vertical, than a cut straight through, for smaller stuff, use a "slash" cut, 45-degree angle, fast sharp saw, one cut and the limb will fall at the same angle it is on the tree. I did power line safety clearance, working close or above the power network, needed precise cuts and skill, i held WL1 Scottish Power authorisation, we could get closer to the live lines than most linesmen.

I've wanted to buy a saw so I don't have to keep borrowing my father-in-law's. But I couldn't justify spending the money on a brand new Stihl that I'll only use a few times a year. These Holtzforma knockoffs look like a great solution. I can spend a few more bucks on mods and end up with a solid saw, at least for homeowner use. Thanks for the reviews!

From and old Tree topper . I could sit here and comment on you all day long man but your work speaks for itself. Great job.

What a good job travelling around meeting new people and climbing bloody big tree’s and seeing views that you’d only see from an aircraft or lookout station thanks for sharing your life with us

I love watching your videos and sitting on my chair telling you everything you’re doing wrong since I am a 70-year-old woman who’s never claimed climbed a tree in my life I think it’s awesome

That little chainsaw looks awesome 🪚🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲

Brother watched this whole vid from start to finish and was thoroughly impressed on ur review of the saw and tree takedown, well done sir 👏🏻

I was under the impression cottonwood trees were used to make heels for women's shoes. Jake you have balls of steel for climbing. I guess if you have done it as long as you have, you get used to it. Happy New year.

In another one of his videos he said that doing this is one of his hobbies. It reminded me of that old saying 'pick a job you love and you never have to work a day in your life'.

The 200T is 35.2 cc The cs 355t is 35.8 the echo is around $350 muffler mod and timing advance they do good. It would be a shoot out of the cheep saws. I have had my echo over a year it is a runner, toss the stock chain. Anyway keep climbing have fun. Catch ya later.

Sitting thinking - why do I like watching trees being cut? Idk I also like seeing where they fall to, even the small branches. I think Jakes personality comes into the mix too. Best wishes & keep safe from 🇬🇧

The intro hinge-wood moan! I’m gonna get the Holzfforma 660 clone and use it for milling (run it a little fat and hope it lasts). It’s a better plan than strapping a 36inch bar to my 42cc craftsman 🤣

You should review the 201, there’s hardly any 200t’s left and if you find one they’re ridiculously overpriced. Thanks! Love the videos!

Nice subtle leprechaun joke there! Lucky Charms the Irish delicacy 😂🤣

You guys are pros. Now I know why tree service is costly, you need an insane amount of skill to fell these gigantic trees. Thank you for the video!

Damn dude, watching you get into that first tree 😅 you guys are some serious athletes!

It’s so satisfying watching you work. Especially when you’re stoked like you are in this one!

Is that kind of work a sport, a craft or a skill? You guys are beyond awesome and it's absolutely mesmerizing watching you scale such heights to do your work.

The holzfforma saws are pretty badass for how inexpensive they are. Ive done multiple tree jobs with my 372xp clone and never even had to use my backup.

Much respect for what you do, after most of the branches would swing back and hit me in the face, I’d cut my rope and take the express way down. Keep up the good work and thanks for the reviews. 👍🏾

i've seen people drop trees before, but that was another level ..great job guys

Nothing to be ashamed by being the second to August Hunicke. He has the top intuition and maintains safety as number one, always. You can later on reach his level. and you are all good already.

I love to watch MASTERS of their crafts. Nice job everyone.

They are continually changing and upgrading their manufacturing process. These current iterations are leaps ahead of where they were when they first came out.

I got 372 from Hollzforma. and I had to replace the carburetor to Walbro after a week or so, because the stock one was living it's own life. And since then it work perfect.

great work & video as usual Jacob. awesome to have someone come a long way just to cut down trees & to see the enjoyment they had

With two saws slung you're like a sawslinger Treeson. Fastest saw in the pacific northwest Take that cottonwood!

glad to see fellow irish men over working

You’ll look back in 5-10 years at these videos of yourself and realize raw talent is great but there is no substitute for experience.

I own this saw in Canada. It’s a $500 saw here after shipping and duty fees 🤦🏼‍♂️ but cuts good! Great video 🔥

13:25 from the grund "take some painkillers!!!!"

You're driving the price of these up! It's up to $400!! Love my Monkeybeavered 2511t. She pulls all 16" of Panther 1/4 pitch through cottonwood admirably. (used it for just that last weekend) It's no 50cc beater, but she solidly punches well in the 35-40cc class despite her 25cc size. Minor mods in effect. I was thinking of trying one of these just to see what the 200t hype is about, but not for $400 plus bar and chain, going to get in on your lottery though, been meaning to send some support anyway. Great video series!

I have been doing trees for a minute and I never got spiking down. Just was too slow. It's cool to see someone that's good at it cruise around.

I’ve had the Holz 372 for a couple years and I have put a couple hundred tanks through it. Their pull ropes are junk, I replaced mine (and all my broken pull ropes) with bulk 550 paracord. The muffler bolts wiggle loose and need loctite. The saw came way too lean for having a completely hollow muffler so I fattened mine up a bit. The chain tensioner is chincy but has held up. The 25:1 recommended mix is WAY too rich after break-in so I’ve run 40:1 with synthetic oil ever since with no issues. Other than a few small things like your buddy said, it is an amazing chainsaw for the $300 I paid for it. Literally pops first pull just like day one! Even had an unlimited coil and a legit Bosch spark plug.

I love seeing these CLONE SAW videos. The Stihl are expensive.

You commented that one guy said how great August is. But for fairly new guys like me, you say thi gs in your videos that I think in my head. Flipside August has said that you are a natural in one of his videos. Keep up the great work.

I took a break, now I am back to binge watching the rest of your videos!

There are many good arborists - including you Tre fellers? You should tag along with Bjarne Butler a day or two

The self-sharpener works great, and it just kept cutting through some pretty decent logs

The guy that criticized you and simultaneously praised August Hunicky was at least smart about his ball breaking. We all love August😂😎

Not for the faint of heart, that's for sure. These men must be in incredible shape; he's young now, I wonder how things go as you get older and older? I was fearful just watching it; what if you accidentally cut your support rope with the chainsaw? Does he have two support ropes going at all times? Unbelievable, much respect for these men . . .

i know its not your style but i would like to watch some short videos of how you rig, or why you do what you are doing. kind of like into the mind of ol Jacob. great videos! i just wish there was more of them

I have a the MS660 knockoff, been using it for milling, tuned extra rich to keep it cooler the thing is a hard working beast.

And I can't believe you go both ways in the tree Jake come on now LOL hahaha great job man

I used one of those for a year as a Trim saw and it performed perfect once i put a good chain on it .

One thing you can thank August for, is sending me over to this (your new) channel. I’m here to stay because of you.

Im 36, never used a chainsaw in my life. But this looks to me like the coolest job on the planet.

You are a hardworking young man! I just get sweat on my hands watching you cutting stumps from the tree, just thinking all the time, don't hit the rope with your chainsaw.... ;)

I'm getting my Holz g660 kit any day now, big bore kit, 36", 28" bars, full chisel and half/ripper, an extra handle that I can chop up, TIG weld to make a full wrap, set a dogs and another scrench. Good times gentlemen.

I got one of these g111 / ms200t clones for a backup recently. It cuts cuts and runs just as good as my old 020t.

Good job Michael! Thanks Jake I really enjoyed this video!

Would be cool to compare them both ported.

With your website you could make it to where you're a staple in the arbor industry. Make like an interactive map of the world that people can click on certain areas and see the common trees there as well as the common methods used to care or cut them. (Just saw your video on the palm trees and thought was really neat). Where people can also do like a request system and ask you to do a tree type in a particular region. And then you could have a link to your video that pertains to that particular tree if people want to see how it's done. I think it'd be cool as part of your tree expedition around the world, and it'd bring traffic to your website as well as to your channel. Love your content, keep it up!

That's the greatest thrill in the world kudos to you guys that's tough work that's the ultimate

Jake don’t let trolls get to you. Yes August is an amazing tree man but how many years does he have on you. With any career the longer you do it the better you get. I’m just starting out and you work circles around what I can do. Keep up the amazing work and great content

Just a crazy, good job in the stratosphere cutting those trees down. 👏👏👏 I'm by no means a professional, but I cut a fair number of trees each year managing my property. One of my go to saws is a Stihl 028 Wood Boss. I suspect I bought it before you boys were born. Still purrs like an angry dog. Anyway, my point is no Chinese saws for me despite the initial lower cost. Reliability and longevity are importent to me. Also, if the option exists to buy a product I need that is made in the USA, I prefer that as I want to support American workers.

The August Hunicke comment was awsome !!!!🤣🤣. That’s kinda like that comment that Magic Johnson said to Larry Bird about M.J. “ he ain’t lying” 🤣🤣🤣

In 1975 I bought a Stihl 020 as a firewood saw for us and others. It was worked hard but kept clean and serviced. From 1985 to 1995 I ran it on Amsoil @ 100:1 and it "loved" it, even though such a lean mix sort of went against the grain and against ardent doom prophets' advice. I no longer used firewood after '95 so the saw was passed on to a friend. I'd be interested in an arborist's take on that matter as chainsaws are your tools of trade whereas mine was largely seasonal and intermittent. (I learned the hard way NEVER lend your saw to another, even a friend!) Col, NZ

That intro was perfect. I love it

You guys are straight bad-ass, period!

I have seriously studied you and my respect for you grows, along. Farmers around here (Iowa) let me practice in their timber ground. But, the "tree people" here would go without instead of hiring a "climber. I have accumulated a fair number of hours climbing and doing direction aimed cuts and falls but they would rather do a lousy job with upper trunks being a "where will it fall?" I am not giving up. I will advertise my skills and what a customer might need and let the "Tree Services" need me. They know where to find me. Oddly enough, in a building I am afraid of heights, but in a tree, do not even think about the height. I can do an "audition" for any serious inquiry. I have learned enough from you, and a few others , to sit back and wait. It hardly feels like work to me. But, my odds are better high up in a tree than they were in a sprint car!

As a tree climber I know these guys are in superb physical condition. This work require use of all body skeletal muscles.

You should do the holzfforma g372xp pro next, see if the extra money is worth it? They look pretty good honestly

Just watched the vids with Reon...this is my 20th year in business in PA. I can't imagine having that big expensive equipment in this area (Philly Suburbs) due to the fact that our tree prices are in the dumps (and always have been) due to the illegal tree companies which pop in and out of existence here. There are no regulations...guys just quit their job after 2 years, take a guy or two with them, buy a chainsaw and a truck and start hustling...nothing wrong there, but they pay their workers cash bc to start a business in this industry, payroll will be hit with 36% workers comp until you prove you aren't a risk (2 - 3 years with SWIF) but when they see that they will be paying another $360 plus around another $100 per $1000 of payroll, they just make the business decision to NOT pay on the books, thereby being able to pay more money to workers, who also get the benefit of not paying taxes, to the point where the equivalent $25/ hour guy for a compliant start up would cost that company $1450/week and the workers takes home around $770... the non-compliant guy can pay the same worker $30/hr under table, it will cost him $1200/week and the worker takes home $1200. The compliant start up would have to pay around $2500/week in their cost in order to get that guy to work for them. I am not a big government guy, in fact, quite the opposite, but the tax and comp cheating isn't the end of it all...not only is the worker at risk if they are injured or maimed, but the homeowner will be responsible as their employer should a non-workers comp covered person be injured on their property, and home owners insurance will not pay for what they will most assuredly call negligence. I don't see what could be done to save the Tree Industry here, as the local government does not seem to care at all...I didn't even mention the topping, crazy elevations and lion tailing - the specialty of these very same illegal companies.

Right on, You bought Clayton Foss's old tree truck. The only tree truck with professionally painted flames on the hood. Traded a tree job for the painted flames.

Damn, this job has become the “film everything on sight” type of job now.

I grew up down the road from there. Gold bar was a good place to grow up.

Really fine video! Thanks to everyone in it for the good watch! Stay Safe!

34:13 goes both ways when he's in a tree 🤣 sry I'm a child

Hey Jacob, got the Fir hoody and a t-shirt. So looking forward to representing here in the PNW. Thanks and love all your work.

Awesome. You even got your Lucky Charms jab in. Dwight's Tree Service just dropped off a huge cottonwood less than 12 hours ago. The base was over 6' in diameter.

Another awesome video bro 😎 what a monster! I like how you cut your notch in half I’m gonna have to try that👌I always have trouble when the notch is that big. To bad you could not help me with the big hickory, it went well, there will be more believe that! Keep them coming bro!!!

Dude that dual wielding chainsaws in the tree was awesome!

a total tree warrior with these 2 saw in a big ass poplar !

So satisfying watching those big tops dropping toward the end of this video.

I saw some high voltage powerlines down there below where u were cutting your tree down , nice job with your climb videos

Good to see a leprechaun helping out Kerry boys

Jake out here dropping straight heat 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 me and my brother who is a fellow climber we love your videos!!! Keep up the great work! My favorite video is your saw collection I thought it was cute and funny with your little girl emmy much love from Pennsylvania!!!!! Tino

Lolol he goes both ways when he's in a tree!!! 😂

Jake going all Duel-Wielding Axe Bezerker mode there with the two chain saws. Pretty cool.

he goes both ways when he's in the tree, LOL 🤣😂
